I think this may be a case where the developers of Fedora tools did their best to engineer a more widely applicable solution and not settling for jerry-rigged stuff. That being said I think the LiveUSB Creator needs some upgrades to be feature-equivalent with the livecd-tools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-34969889638680101372009-10-30T18:44:36.162+02:002009-10-30T18:44:36.162+02:00I have been creating LiveUSB sticks for both Ubunt...I have been creating LiveUSB sticks for both Ubuntu and Fedora over the years and have had very mixed results. It seems to be very dependent on both the stick you have and the machine you are trying to use it in.<br /><br />Also, sometimes the image needs to be applied to the device (/dev/sda) and sometimes the partition (/dev/sda1) to work properly.<br /><br />Lately the only way I could get a Fedora LiveUSB image to work with a certain stick I had was to use UNetbootin. Neither dd nor the Fedora LiveUSB creator worked. One another stick, the LiveUSB creator works *great*. It seems that some cheap USB hardware might not play well with certain boot methods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
